Syria: Outside Patronage and a New Offensive for the Regime

May 20, 2013 | 1005

Summary

The battle for the
Syrian city of Al-Qusayr, which came under regime artillery fire May 19, is
actually part of a larger battle for the highly coveted Homs governorate. As we noted in 2012, the battle has
wide-reaching ramifications for the Syrian rebels since Al-Qusayr sits along a
major transit point for rebel supplies and reinforcements coming in from Lebanon.
But it is equally important to loyalist forces. If the Syrian regime loses
control of the Orontes River Valley and its major road junctions, Damascus will
be largely cut off from Aleppo and the Alawite-dominated coast, which would
limit the regime's access to supply lines from port cities.

The regime's renewed
offensive against Al-Qusayr was made possible by support from Iran, Russia and
Hezbollah. However, geography will determine which side holds the advantage. In
northern and eastern Syria, the regime remains on the defensive; in the core,
the advantage clearly belongs to the loyalists. With the country squarely
divided, the Syrian civil war will continue to be a protracted conflict -- even
as the regime prevails in Al-Qusayr.

Analysis

Supported by Hezbollah
fighters, loyalist forces began their offensive against Al-Qusayr with a
barrage of artillery fire. Given that the rebels are entrenched in static
positions throughout the city, massed artillery fire can have a particularly
devastating effect. Regime forces are largely deployed to the north and east of
the city, while fighters affiliated with Hezbollah are reportedly advancing on
the city from the south and west.

Hezbollah has long been
involved in the fight over Homs, but the May 19 offensive marks a clear
escalation in Hezbollah's involvement. Tensions in Lebanon have grown alongside
this increased involvement. For example, rebels struck the Lebanese town of
Hermel with rocket artillery on May 19. And the anger Lebanese Sunnis feel toward Hezbollah
threatens to spill over into a full-blown armed conflict.

External Support

Al-Qusayr is not the only
theater in which al Assad has received considerable external support. Iran and
Russia continue to deliver much-needed material and equipment,
including spare parts needed to maintain the regime's critical advantage over
the rebels: the air force. Tehran and Moscow also have
reportedly played a major role in giving economic support, which is used to
fund the war effort and pay hefty salaries to security forces.

External help also
enabled Syria to create a new militia, known as the National Defense Force, to
offset the losses incurred by the army. With the help of Iranian and Hezbollah
advisers, the regime was able to rapidly train and deploy members of this
militia. The National Defense Force has brought reliable manpower to the
loyalist cause, but equally important, it has helped free up the conventional
army to execute difficult offensive operations.

Controlling
HomsIn the battle for Homs, external support
gives the regime the military edge. But despite this superiority, the regime
probably will not stamp out the rebel resistance entirely, even if it retakes
Al-Qusayr. Time and again the rebels have demonstrated a talent for retreating
from areas in which the regime musters overwhelming force. The regime has been
careful to surround Al-Qusayr from all directions, but the rebels will continue
to escape through regime gaps into the countryside or to other rebel
strongholds in Homs, such as Rastan and Talbiseh.However, thanks to considerable Hezbollah
aid, the regime has largely subdued rebel operations in the Homs governorate, a
goal it has tried to achieve since the early stages of the rebellion. Control
over Homs will enable al Assad to rapidly move forces from the north to the
south to meet emerging rebel threats. It will also provide a key avenue of
retreat to the Alawite coast in the event that he needs to flee Damascus. -- [Stratfor, May 20, 2013]

On Tuesday May 14, 2013http://www.debka.com/article/22963/Putin-again-warns-Netanyahu-hands-off-SyriaDebkafile reported that Russian President
Putin was indeed escalating the stakes for anyone wishing to externally
overthrow Syria’s sovereignty. Debkafile stated:“Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu spent three hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin at his
residence in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Tuesday, May, 14. He came for a
last-ditch attempt to head off the supply of advanced Russian anti-air S-300
missile systems to Syria. Instead, the Russian leader turned the conversation
around to focus implicitly on Israel’s air strikes against Damascus on May 3
and May 5. After their conversation he issued a warning: "In this
crucial period it is especially important to avoid any moves that can shake the
situation."
This was clearly a hands-off caution to Israel not to repeat its attacks
on Damascus. And, furthermore, after “shaking the situation” in Syria by its
air attacks, Israel was in no position to demand that Russia avoid selling
Syria advanced weapons.
The prime minister, for his part, warned that the entire Middle East was in a
dangerous state of volatility.He was accompanied by Israeli Military
Intelligence Chief Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi. Opposite him sat Mikhail Fradkov,
SVR Director.… Russian diplomats leaked to the
London-based Arab press a report that the S-300 missiles had already arrived in
Syria. According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi, Moscow had delivered 200 launchers
(probably missiles) and the Syrian missile teams already knew how to use them.... The S-300 is designed to shoot
down planes and missiles at 200-km ranges.
Israel is concerned that Moscow may decided to send the six S-300 batteries
carrying 144 missiles due for Syria along with Russian missile and air defense
specialists. They will also be available for operating the missiles effectively
for downing Israeli Air Force planes striking targets in Syria and Lebanon.
Israel will be forced to think twice before attacking the S-300 batteries for
fear of hitting the Russian officers. Putin is therefore placing a severe
constraint on Israel’s operational freedom by spreading an anti-air missile
cover over the Syrian, Hizballah and the Iranian Basij forces fighting for
Bashar Assad.”

Debkafile reports that:“Four days after a “senior
Israeli official” warned Assad through The New York Times of Wednesday,
May 15 that he risks forfeiting power if he retaliates for Israeli attacks
on weapons supplies to terrorists, “Israeli officials” were telling the
London Times of Saturday, May 18 something quite different: “An intact, but
weakened, Assad regime would be preferable,” they said. “Better the devil we
know than the demons we can only imagine if… extremists from across the Arab
world gain a foothold there.”…At all events, the Syrian
civil conflict appears poised ready to spill over to one or more of its
neighbors…Hizballah’s Hassan Nasrallah in one of his fiery speeches expressed
eagerness to make the Golan his new front for war on Israel. And
Friday, May 17, it was reported in Tehran that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei had entrusted Al Qods Brigades commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani
with the task of sending troops to the Golan to embark on hostilities
against Israel.
Once they begin, it will be hard to stop the violence from spreading to
Israel’s borders with Lebanon, from Syria into Turkey and from Jordan into
Syria and Iraq.”

On Sunday May19, 2013http://www.debka.com/article/22980/Syrian-Hizballah%E2%80%99s-capture-of-Qusayr-opens-direct-weapons-route-to-Lebanon
Debkafile reports that “Shortly after
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu pledged Sunday, May 19, to maintain Israeli
operations in Syria against the passage of advanced Iranian weapons to the
Lebanese Hizballah, Syrian troops and their Hizballah comrades stormed
Al-Qasayr, the northwestern town which commands the high road from Syrian Homs
to Lebanon’s Hermel Mountains.This was a major victory:
Iranian arms for Hizballah can now go through from Syria to destination
unobstructed.In more than two years of
battling the Assad regime, this was one of the rebels’ most devastating losses
after three weeks of bitter fighting and the last of a whole row of recent
setbacks.Bashar Assad in contrast has
gained huge advantages from his al Qusayr victory, as debkafile’s military
sources report:1. It cuts off the Syrian
rebels’ main supply and communications route via Lebanon through which their
Arab backers Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE to send them fighters, arms and
funds.2. Rebel positions in the
nearby town of Homs become increasingly vulnerable, as the Syrian army regains
control of the main highway links between Damascus, Homs and Aleppo. Qusayr
also links Damascus with the Mediterranean coast, where Alawites and other
regime loyalists are concentrated.3. After the rebels were
pushed out of Al-Qasayr, Turkey remains their only accessible source of
supplies.…4. For Israel, the fall of al
Qusayr means that while rebel supply routes are shut down, supply routes open
up for the free movement of Iranian weapons from Syria straight to HIzballah
strongholds in Lebanon. This would be Hizballah’s reward for its military aid
to Assad’s army.If Prime Minister Netanyahu was
serious about his promise Sunday to cut off Hizballah’s weapon routes from
Syria, he has three primary options to choose from – none of them easy, to say
the least.a) Military intervention
in al Qusayr before the Syrian army and Hizballah clinch their takeover of this
strategic byway town. This would catapult Israel into full-blown war with Syria
and Hizballah and is therefore a non-starter.b) Bombardment of the
convoys carrying arms from Syria to Lebanon.…c) Attacks on the
destination of those weapons – Hizballah depots in the Hermel – after their
delivery. This would almost certainly trigger Hizballah war action against
Israel.”

the Golan Heights erupted in gunfire from an Israeli patrol against a sortie by
the Syrians. An Israeli “Tamuz” missile took out the Syrian position, and
an Israeli armored vehicle was shot up. The Daily Star of Lebanon
cites the armored vehicle as being an Israeli tank.

Israel claims none of its soldiers were killed and that source of gunfire
was taken out (with an unknown number of dead, though we may surmise that it
was likely only a few).

On Tuesday May 21, 2013, in Paris, it was
announced http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2013/May-21/217862-syria-submits-five-names-for-possible-peace-talks-sources.ashx#axzz2TwGm4GUC that Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi of
Syria has asked that there be peace talks, and had previously submitted his
name and that of 4 others as negotiators for Peace Talks to be held in Geneva.
The French response was that some of the names proposed by the Syrian regime were
"unacceptable".The opposition is to meet in Istanbul on Thursday [May
23, 2013]to decide on whether to participate in the peace
conference.
And considering that Obama is driving an inevitable unnecessary and unwarranted
escalation in which Iran and Russia will aligning for war against the United
States over this, and that most of continental Europe will side with Russia and
forever shatter the NATO compact because of the international lawlessness of
Obama as a one who has now made the United States as a State sponsor of
terrorism, it would be a good idea to further the Peace Talks suggestion.
Personally, I would rather the entire Al Qaeda and other externals invasion force
into Syria’s sovereignty, minus U.S. and Israeli personnel, be rounded up and
summarily executed. They have massacred tens of thousands of Christians
in Syria and many tens of thousands of other Syrian nationals for no other
reason than sheer barbarity as the expression of their faith to make others
submit to their criminal cultism or be killed, with no other option.
In effect, Obama, by giving these Al Qaeda and other terrorists invading Syria
that material support which brought with it complications that got 4 U.S.
citizens, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya killed. It is my belief
that Obama is legitimately chargeable with war crimes against Syria, and with
high crimes and misdemeanors against citizens of the United States.
President Bush had Congressional Authorization to do whatever it took against
what he thought were terrorists that attacked us on 9/11/2001. President
Bush had United Nations resolutions, and de facto Congressional authorization
regarding Iraq, not to mention we had cause as a recent conquering power in a
previous war authorized by the United Nations and were being fired upon by
Saddam Hussein as we patrolled and enforced a treaty established "no-fly
zone" which our forces were permitted to fly and enforce.
When Iran was revealed to have Yellow-cake Uranium, there was the cry of
alarm and universal concern that it is sufficient material to further Iran’s
Nuclear program, and that a shipment of 45 tons was convertible to a material
for at least several atomic bombs…and yet Iraq is known to have had 550 metric
tons of yellowcake uranium, more than 12 times the grave concern of Iran
converting the same substance, and the which the United States shipped out at a
cost of $70,000,000 and gave to a firm in Canada. The yellow-cake uranium, the
reason why we are concerned about Iran now and were concerned with Iraq then as
part of the reason why we invaded Iraq...well that yellow-cake uranium
WAS THERE!!!

DEBKAfile expressed concern over the successful processing of yellow-cake
Uranium, that enough to manufacture 28.2 kilos (just over exactly 62 lbs) of 90
percent weapons grade uranium, can be achieved as early as February 2011.
Earlier this year, on February 28, 2010, DEBKAfile reported that the deep
concern that 45 tons of yellowcake Uranium was on its way from North Korea (by
way of China

So if 45 tons of yellow-cake is cause for
deep concern, why all the apathy in America for what the United States seized
in Iraq? Why all the hatred of George Bush from the Left, and the lack of
apologists from the Right?

Iraq had 550 metric tons of Yellow-cake
Uranium in its possession (MSNBC July 05, 2008)

at its former Tuwaitha nuclear power
plant 12 miles south of Baghdad, and that yellowcake was more than sufficiently
salvageable so as to be sold to a Canadian energy firm, Cameco Corp, and
shipped out on 37 US military transports at a cost of some $70,000,000
dollars (CNN July 07, 2008)http://articles.cnn.com/2008-07-07/us/iraq.uranium_1_yellowcake-uranium-cameco?_s=PM:US just for the shipping costs all that
Yellowcake Uranium from Iraq to Montreal in 3500
barrels.

Does that Yellowcake sound like it has been
isotopically neutered, and is worthless? Absolutely not.

In other words, in July of 2008 we learned that enough weapons
of mass destruction base material to process into 2388 to 3489 lbs of weapons
grade uranium, or enough to make 38 to 56 nuclear bombs, was shipped out of
Iraq and sold to the Canadians by the Bush Administration...and
jackasses in the Media and in Congress, with pure partisan hate-America
agendas, refuse to report the facts of the story.

So what's their excuse? Is it to the
effect of: ..."Well, 2008 was an election year, and we had to do
whatever it took to get a Dem in the White House, qualified or not, credible or
not, unvetted and so what?" Is that it? Damn right, it
was.

It seems that the Liberals and the Media
cannot confront Iran because of its Iraq yellow-cake Uranium guilt. If
yellow-cake and Iraq is brought up, the Communist-Socialists of the Media and
their pre and post-paid propaganda pundits seem to suddenly only wish to
selectively remember and quote verbatim a pop-news magazine that TIME has become,
in regard to this issue of whether or not there was any weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq when the US invaded. They refer back to a July 09,
2003 article, and apparently disregard any future facts and insights learned
about the issue since that time.http://www.time.com/time/columnist/karon/article/0,9565,463779,00.html
Thus I wrote on December 6, 2010.

Briefly, just regarding U.S. Law and
authorization for President Bush by comparison.
President Bush on September 14, 2001, issued Proclamation No. 7463,
66 Fed. Reg. 48,199 (Sept. 14, 2001) in response to the 9-11 attacks. The
Congressional Intelligence Committee was then briefed, and in turn, have
briefed others who succeeded them. Congress formally legalized President Bush with Pub. L. No. 107-40, 115
Stat. 224(2001) which states: The “President is authorized to use
all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations,
or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the
terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such
organizations or persons” { Authorization for Use of Military Force (“the AUMF”),
115 Stat. 224}
That is, President Bush was legally authorized to, "in good faith",
be wrong about Iraq, if he made that mistake. That is a clear distinction
that gives Bush a legal pass that Obama does NOT have.

US Constitutional Law mandates
that the obligation of The President of the United States, is that it is his
legal obligation and of the highest interest of the US Government to ENSURE the
Security of the USA against Foreign Enemies: Haig v. Agee, 453 U.S. 280
(1981) @ 307 (citing Aptheker v. Sec’y of State, 378 U.S. 500 (1964) @ 509 );
accord Cole v. Young, 351 U.S. 536 (1956) @ 546.
In one of his first major acts in 2009, Obama violated America's trust in
releasing top secret reports caused the Bush Anti-Terror Memos http://www.indianexpress.com/news/obama-releases-secret-bush-antiterror-memos/430194/0that aid America’s enemies, specifically and
especially Al Qaeda and other terrorists as well as hostile nation states, and
hindered our intelligence gathering capabilities. Chicago
& S. Air Lines v. Waterman S.S. Corp., 333 U.S. 103 (1948) @ 111
states: “The
President, both as Commander-in-Chief and as the Nation’s organ for foreign
affairs, has available intelligence serviceswhose reports are not and
ought not to be published to the world.”.George W. Bush fulfilled U.S. Law when
attacking another nation or utilizing U.S. resources and foreign
alliances against it...Obama has violated it.

In contrast, Obama is standing over Syria on behalf of terrorists who are
massacring going on 80,000 - 100,000 human beings, particularly Christians and
other Syrian Nationals in a form of genocide with NO Congressional
authorization and NO United Nations Resolutions authority to be there, and who
has made the United States as a Nation State sponsor of terror by his specific
policies and by the Al Qaeda terrorists whom he supports, which Congress had
previously authorized President Bush to fight and destroy. Instead, Obama
aids and abets the same enemy organization credited as responsible for the
09/11/2001 World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks.
For years Democrats labeled President Bush as a War Criminal, but
instead, they nominate and ram forth through fraud after fraud to give us a
lawless man, not even Constitutionally Qualified to be President (who is not a
United States Natural Born Citizen and only has birth and Social Security
Identity Fraud documents that cannot even be submitted in a U.S. Court of Law.)
As one U.S. Citizen put up the money to voice his opinion and rightly insists,
to which I thank them for so saying, we should: "IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!!"

U.S. Natural Born Citizen Defined

To be a United States Natural Born Citizen, he (or she) must be one of sole nationality, so that were he (or she) ever stripped of citizenship in the United States, he (or she) would be declared as “Stateless”.
Neither parent may be of foreign citizenship, and the child must be born 100% within United States jurisdiction and 100% a U.S. Citizen with NO FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP (NOR A CLAIM OF SUCH IN ANY WAY) AT BIRTH.
Anyone acquiring or possessing ANY FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP AT BIRTH IS NOT A UNITED STATES NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
